The best coaches know and believe in their systems, but also know when it's time for that system to evolve with their athletes and the sport.

On today's episode of the Brute Coaches Podcast, opens up about imposter syndrome, the pressure of being one of the few female coaches in competitive CrossFit, and how working with helped her build a more structured coaching approach and learn that the same approach that works for an experienced Games athlete doesn't always work for a younger athlete who is still developing.

Knowing your athletes matters just as much as knowing your programming.

There's a lot more to being a successful athlete than what happens on the competition floor, and James gives us a deeper understanding of what that means for him and how he attacks being the best in the world at his craft while not losing himself in it.

Meet Lindsey Przylepa. 🤝

Lindsey's athletic background started long before CrossFit. She spent years competing in elite gymnastics from ages 7–21, followed by competitive cheerleading before finding her place in the CrossFit world. She's still competing today in the Masters 35–39 division.

One of her proudest athletic accomplishments came last year when she placed 5th at Desert City, just eight months after returning from a full hysterectomy. (THAT'S OUR COACH!)

Her path to coaching wasn't exactly conventional, either as she was two years into her doctorate in clinical psychology before deciding to step away and pursue competitive CrossFit coaching.

A few things you might not know about Lindsey:
- Favorite movement: power cleans.
- Favorite workout: Isabel. Least favorite: Fran. (For obvious reasons)
- She's a huge music ju**ie and lives for her annual girls trip with her ride-or-dies.
- Reality TV lover
- Dog lover and proud millennial through and through.

Interested in 1-on-1 coaching with ? Send us a DM or head to our website to get started with Lindsey.

(aaandddd keep an eye out for her next Brute Gymnastics e-book, coming very very soon!)

Meet Justin Cowart 🤝

With 18+ years of coaching experience and an OPEX CCP certification, Justin has spent a big part of his life helping people become better versions of themselves.

His background in motocross and MMA has shaped his own relationship with training, but when it comes to coaching, he's less concerned with what type of athlete you are and more interested in who you are and how willing you are to grow.

Justin enjoys working with youth, masters, and anyone who is coachable and genuinely wants to become better, both physically and mentally.

A few things about Justin outside the gym:
- Favorite movements: snatches, rowing, and pretty much any gymnastics movement.
- His ideal time outside the gym is spent with his wife, dog, and two cats.
- The slower the day, the better.

Whether you're looking to improve your performance, build consistency, or become a stronger version of yourself, Justin is ready to help you get there.

The standard for becoming a athlete has changed. Has the mindset around who can realistically get there kept up?

CrossFit has evolved, the competition has gotten deeper, and athletes are starting younger than ever. But are we still approaching the sport with the same expectations we had years ago?

and discuss how much the path to the CrossFit Games has changed, and why the gap between recreational CrossFit and elite competition might be bigger than we think.

Is becoming a Games athlete still a realistic goal for anyone willing to put in the work?

Meet 🤝

Before he was coaching athletes at Brute, Jeff spent four years playing college football, and when that chapter ended, his own fitness journey took a different direction. After finishing his football career at 321 lbs, he lost 86 lbs through fitness and bodybuilding.

Now, with 12 years of coaching experience and his CF-L3, Jeff brings that experience into his work with athletes every day.

One of his favorite parts of coaching is helping people return from injury. Getting back to training can be a tough process, and Jeff enjoys helping athletes work through it and get back to doing what they love.

His approach is simple: everyone deserves good coaching, and he's ready to meet you where you are.

A few things about Jeff outside of coaching:
- He plays in a few tennis leagues
- His favorite movements are toes-to-bar, snatches, and bar muscle-ups

Whether you're coming back from a setback or working toward a new goal, Jeff is ready to help you put in the work to get where you want to be.
